The realignment will remove several curves and steep grades reducing the three-mile stretch by one mile. The project also includes constructing outside shoulders, three bridges, and three wildlife crossings.

SR-138 will remain a two-lane road with one lane in each direction. The closure is necessary to complete striping and earthwork. Signed detours will be in place.
